I know there are some opinions on this out there. It has come up before. But in a situation where many, many discs are left in a pond due to an inability to go in and get it immediately and entering the pond being illegal to begin with why should "squids" get away with taking discs lost in this way? Especially if there is a plan in place to periodically clean out the pond legally with the intention of lawfully returning the lost discs. Involving the law, right or wrong? Discuss....

Most ponds say no swimming or fishing...squids are harvesting and providing a public service cuz the signs dont stop me; its the pond scum. However it is your property and I think you have a right to get it back if you see it...got to boycott the sellers

Mike Hyzer was wrong. Stealing discs that people were too lazy or too unresourceful to recover is a sh1tty thing to do, and Rob M has shown me the law.

Don't throw your disc somewhere where you cannot retrieve it. If you do, its on you.. IMO.. I left a pop can at ww, it has my fingerprints on it that are exclusive to me alone. I want whoever took it to go to jail! This is f@cking ridiculous

Geez guys. This is about as enforceable as doing 72 in a 65 at 5:10 pm. Do what you think is the right thing to do. For me, I call the owner two times. If they don't come and get it, it's mine.

That's why it's ridiculous that the state would have a say in the matter at all. Seriously, anyone who calls the cops over a golf disc is a bigger d-bag than those who don't try to turn in the lost discs they find.

I really don't get the waste of time and energy and gas trying to get a 10-20 dollar disc back.Unless you know the person and hold it for them for a later date.The mere mention of getting law enforcement involved makes me cringe. Waste of taxpayers money for your errant throw.

No doubt that the tile in the link will be built into discs in the future. Look at what glow lights have become.

It is OK to like your disc and take them out on dates, maybe even develop a bonding relationship.Just don't marry them, they will always leave you. Unless you hang them on your wall.Even that is no guarantee.

Bring on some Spring, Jonesing pretty bad here.
